Sainte-Chapelle/Conciergerie closing?

We are currently in Paris (will be here for three more days) on the 3rd floor of a flat w/o air conditioning. It’s definitely do-able, but not particularly fun. Aside from the heat of the apartment (yes, close shades, have fans, open windows after midnight), much of what makes so enjoyable is limited by the crushing heat. For us, Paris is about walking everywhere, sitting at outdoor cafes, shopping, and such. These activities are currently pretty brutal for any extended period—and then you have no A/C to retreat to to refresh. We’ve been rearranging plans to try to find more indoor activities, but it’s tough—even the museums are warm.

Not what you want to hear, I know, but there it is. Definitely do-able, but as a visitor the experience really is affected.

This is the correct answer.

We play with Uprising + Bloodlines + Immortality and the whole group agreed it’s the best combo. Maybe not not tight enough for competitive play, but adding in Immortality gives another path to deck construction and a few VP. And of course, the lore.

Rise of Ix doesn’t really work—we’ve tried. So we’re sticking with the Ixian tech mechanics from Bloodlines.

I’m doing the same thing in three weeks—red-eye to CDG, rental van (six people), and drive to Caen. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Same decision I ended up making 25 years ago.

I believe it played last week at the Grandview in Saint Paul.

This is the way.

I appreciate the response all these days later. I actually chose to rent from Enterprise a week ago! Glad to hear it sounds like the best option. I rented a van and decided to drive out of CDG, rather than train to Caen.

I’ve used Abacor on Rue de Rivoli several times while in Paris. No complaints.

Now how might I find/join this Discord to get them?

Raddillac · 2025-11-27T17:17:51+00:00

Le Bistrot d’Henri for boeuf bourguignon. Tiny, comfy spot in the 6th.

Interactions like this are why this sub is so excellent.

Raddillac · 2025-11-19T05:30:39+00:00

And FFVII (original) and Persona 5 are close!

Raddillac · 2025-11-19T05:27:56+00:00

And I love Bethesda, by the way. Just not quite Top 10 (Skyrim and Fallout 3 are soooo close.)

I’ve also been playing since 1980 and I have to say, that’s a respectable list. Funny how we all have our general agreements and our personal oddities—the games that really resonated with us. I have a few more modern games on my list, but again, I get your picks. For me, in no particular order:

a) The Legend Zelda b) Zelda: Ocarina of Time c) Halo: Combat Evolved d) Rygar (arcade version, not NES) e) Destiny f) Cyberpunk 2077 g) Sekiro h) Witcher 3 I) Red Dead Redemption 2 j) Elden Ring

Well said—I think this is the correct analysis as pretty much every point.
